AIVC Newsletter, Special Issue COVID-19, November 2020

The AIVC board decided in their last (online) meeting of September 2020 to start a project to collect, discuss and disseminate information about COVID-19 in relation to ventilation and airtightness. A working group was created to define and carry out the project, with the title ‘Ventilation, airtightness and COVID-19’.  The first special issue of the AIVC newsletter is a first outcome of the project.
